Sam Forest Research Institute Malaysia, Kepong, Selangor, Malaysia samyen@frim.gov.my ABSTRACT. Boesenbergia basispicata K.Larsen ex Sirirugsa was recently discovered from a limestone hill in Perak, Peninsular Malaysia. This brings the total number of Boesenbergia species in Peninsular Malaysia to 12. A description, colour plates and notes on this species are provided. Keywords. Limestone, Peninsular Thailand, Perak Introduction Boesenbergia Kuntze is a genus of gingers found in tropical Asia. The genus consists of about 80 species ranging from India to China and Southeast Asia (Larsen et al., 1998; Saensouk & Larsen, 2002; Mood et al., 2014). Holttum (1950) published the first comprehensive treatment of the genus in Peninsular Malaysia in which he recognised eight species, namely Boesenbergia clivalis (Ridl.) Schltr., B. curtisii (Baker) Schltr., B. flava Holttum, B. longipes (King & Prain ex Ridl.) Schltr., B. plicata (Ridl.) Holttum, B. prainiana (King ex Baker) Schltr., B. pulcherrima (Wall.) Kuntze and B. rotunda (L.) Mansf. Among these, Boesenbergia rotunda is not considered to be native as only cultivated plants were sighted. Since then, there was no taxonomic work on the genus in Peninsular Malaysia until Lim (2008) named a new species, Boesenbergia kenali C.K.Lim, from Kelantan. He also provided a checklist for Peninsular Malaysian Boesenbergia in which 11 species were listed. The species newly added to the list included Boesenbergia lurida (Ridl.) Loes., which was resurrected from synonymy of B. plicata (Ridl.) Holttum, and the rediscovery of B. minor (Bak.) Schltr. Recently, a Thai species, Boesenbergia basispicata K.Larsen ex Sirirugsa, was discovered in northern Peninsular Malaysia, adding another species to the list.

FRI (KEP); Tanah Hitam, limestone hill next to Rahman Plantation, 372 m altitude, N E, 17 Jul 2012, Sam FRI (KEP). Habitat and ecology. Herbaceous vegetation on karst limestone substrate, surrounded by regenerating lowland evergreen rainforest. The plants were found on two small limestone outcrops covered with thick vegetation. They were seen growing in the crevices and ledges on the outcrop, about 10 m above the ground. These narrow pockets contained thick humus supporting the growth of herbaceous plants such as Boesenbergia basispicata, aroids (Arisaema fimbriatum Mast.), gesneriads (Damrongia

D.J.Middleton & A.Weber, Epithema saxatile Blume, Microchirita rupestris (Ridl.) A.Weber & Rafidah, Paraboea verticillata (Ridl.) B.L.Burtt), ferns and lycophytes (Adiantum malesianum Ghatak, Pyrrosia penangiana Holttum, Selaginella frondosa Warb.). This is the first report of Boesenbergia basispicata growing on a limestone substrate. In Southern Thailand, the plants are often found on damp slopes (Sirirugsa, 1992) and also near streams on sandstone with thick leaf litter (Mood, pers. comm.) in lowland evergreen forest.
4 264 Gard. Bull. Singapore 67(2) 2015 The population of Boesenbergia basispicata at Belukar Semang Forest Reserve is potentially threatened by disturbance. Firstly, the Forest Reserve may suffer from encroachment through illegal land clearance, since it is now adjacent to a rubber plantation and thereby more accessible. Secondly, the land clearance for the adjoining rubber plantation has adversely affected the environment as the humidity and temperature have become less favourable to understorey plants like Boesenbergia basispicata. Distribution. Peninsular Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. Notes. Boesenbergia basispicata was first discovered in Nakhon Si Thammarat and Trang Provinces, Peninsular Thailand (Sirirugsa, 1987) and later in the southernmost province of Narathiwat (Sirirugsa, 1992). It is one of only around eight species of Boesenbergia with an inflorescence emerging directly from the rhizome; most species produce a terminal inflorescence. In Peninsular Malaysia, Boesenbergia basispicata is the first species recorded with a radical inflorescence and this makes it easy to distinguish from the other species with a terminal inflorescences, especially from the otherwise similar B. prainiana. In general, the plants at Belukar Semang Forest Reserve fit Sirirugsa s descriptions but differ in the ovate to narrowly ovate laminas with subcordate bases, whereas the Thai plants have oblong laminas with obtuse or cuneate to decurrent bases, the broader laminas ( vs cm), longer peduncles (1 3 vs 0.5 cm) and floral tubes (30 35 vs 25 mm) and smaller fruits (c mm vs c. 7 2 mm). A reviewer also noted that pseudostems have been observed in Thai populations. Another marked difference observed in the Peninsular Malaysian plant is its unilocular ovary with free-basal placentation in contrast to the incompletely trilocular ovary in Siriruga s account.
